Riot 3-17-2010

[Brad Bauer]

I have no idea what you're talkin about here to be honest so I can't answer your question haha. I really dug the show but as the commentary said could have been a lot better. I think people were confused about the deadlines (Yes I know that falls on us) and I'm just as guilty. Overall I do like where things are going.

 

In regards to the Main Event, I've heard that people felt that the ending was lame. I could completely understand this, and I guess part of me felt let down by losing by roll up, but then I try to take a step back and see it for what it is. I wrestled pretty well not trying to sound cocky. I thought the match had all you could ask for. As everyone knows wrestling a Triple Threat is not easy. You have one guy always sorta just jackin off so to speak when there's other interaction. I thought we all did a good job at minimizing and not abusing double team moves. All of us had our spots that we hit and there as a moment during that match where each one of us looked like we were bringin it home.

 

Storyline wise things worked. You had Cruz the fan favorite wrestling for a shot to please the fans and get in as the underdog. People were rootin for him and he held his own. You had Trance the jack ass of a heel who people hate for all he's done trying to steal the match at different moments tryin to roll people up. Than you have Gaines the man who's gone psycho tryin to get one more shot at Trance. Mainly focused on him during th ematch but went after Cruz when he needed too. Think of the heartbreak of the character after he had the match sealed a chance to go to Lution at FI and win a title shot. It's the story of the rise and fall and rise again of a character literally stolen from him. I told Cruz and Trance both I was gonna pull for either one of them if they won cause they deserve it more than I.

 

I came back to have fun working on storylines when at the time I came back OCW needed them. I'm havin a blast working with Trance and startin' stuff with Wesley. I think our angle is pretty hot in addtion to strong angles like Mayhem and Valmont, Trance and Aries, Leon and Guy, and I even see things pickin up with Smythe and Mania. So in summation I thank people for being upset with the ending to the match and I didn't want it that way but I'm ok with it cause it fits with everything. As Nate Ortiz once told me you work with what's given to you and that's what I'll do with the ending to this match

 

Triple threat matches end in roll ups all of the time. I think it was a good ending and progresses the story along. People need to quit whining and pining over something that was fine as presented.

Meh I just think it's an ethics thing sometimes. Gaines finished Cruz and then gets rolled up. Gaines fault really for trying to run when he wasn't focused on Trance. Three ways are hard to finnish and pins are sometimes needed to end I agree. Especially on this game. I just think someone gets a finisher on someone and then gets rolled up is meh. You see this in WWE yeah but this is a poor game with crap directions. Gaines failed at a run however and is pinned which makes it ok. Just not something I would do.

[Wesley Adams Poe]

Well I agree with Bauer, happens all the time in Wrestling, and defines stealing a win which makes sense persay to happen between a champ and a challenger, honestly i don't mind regular show matches ending in moves like that, and it was after a finisher so that even added to it. I'd rather anticipate getting to seeing a match finish after a big finish at a ppv than seeing the same finisher get hit to end a match, match after match, between too rivals. I personally think it adds to the buildup cause gaines can obviously now "in character" gripe and complain over that loss and how Trance stole the win, meanwhile Trance can talk about he did what he had since Gaines tried to "steal" the win over him by beating Cruz instead you know just whatever. I enjoyed the match and thought it was a good point to work off.

 

Off topic Cruz and Gaines wear the same red bandanas I hope no gang activity is starting in OCW...

I hope not, my shoes and wallet have already been stolen multiple times. I can't afford to lose anything else. Damn Mexicans.

[Trevor McManus]

I liked the ending.

 

It was a dramatic ending. I think it's hypocritical of Leon for saying he didn't like this roll up when we all seen the way he lost to Ryder and he let that pass.

[Craig Casey]

I got rolled up after hitting a finisher this one time. :(

[Trevor McManus]

I got german suplexed and lost the world championship.

 

You can all fuck off with your sob stories.

Wasn't it a running ddt?

We were focused when it happened. Same with Ryder. Gaines wasn't focused and it cost him, his fault for trying to hit Trance right away. Then the douche got rolled up. I just wasn't a big fan but just my opinion. Just like I wasn't a fan when you hit a finisher and Valmont didn't let you focus and took the win. Not saying it's against the rules because it isn't and you guys are going to work with less rules, but just ethics sometimes I think. However everyone liked the finnish so doesn't really matter what I think :p

 

I hope you and Valmont kill each other on Riot.

I thought it was a running STO...
